four feet of width puts this firmly in standing-room territory, which the single potted tree seems to understand. a direct living connection saves it from irrelevance, and the west-facing city views deliver a decent sunset consolation. room for two people who like each other, or one person who doesn't.

glass railings, south and west light, midtown skyline filling the frame. the view is doing a lot of work here because the width is not. four feet is standing room, two chairs if you're optimistic, a proper dinner party if you're delusional. a direct living terrace with solo morning coffee potential and not much else.

if the only terrace for this home was the wrap-around, it would already be exceptional, as it is almost 10 feet wide everywhere. however, the north terrace adds a level of practicality that is almost never seen in this building style.

to narrow to have any practical use and the fact the windows are made opaque suggests the view is also not worthy, but that is a missed opportunity as that makes it perfect for planting to control your views

long but narrow, with limited practical use

west-facing, water views, sunset doing exactly what it should. the photo tells a prettier story than the five-foot width suggests, which means someone staged it well. a direct living terrace this narrow is cocktails for two, not dinner for six. the sectional looks comfortable; just don't try walking past it.
